From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Section 44(4) provides that in determining the amount of an RRO, within the maximum, the Tribunal should have particular regard to the conduct of both parties, and to the financial circumstances of the landlord. … In terms of adhering to the lease and matters such as repairs by the landlord or damage by the tenants, there were no adverse conclusions to be drawn from the conduct of either Respondent or Applicants. … We have no information as to the means of the Respondent. Had it wished to have put such information before us, it could have appeared. … In the former case, the Upper Tribunal arrived at a figure of 85% of the maximum RRO, relying on the fact that the landlords were professional property investors. In the latter, the matters that lead the Upper Tribunal to determine a figure of about 80% were, in addition to the professional nature of the landlord, a vindictive attempt at retaliatory eviction and misrepresenting non- compliance with a notice under Housing Act 1985, section 21. … She submitted that we should take that into account. … We take into account all three. The most important is the professional nature of the Respondent as a rent-to-rent provider. The least is the failure to serve the (existing) certificates. … 8 and, and the cases referred to therein. …
